Gun Control Shootout at the DC Corral

"After years of languishing under the duck boots of gun owners, gun control advocates are dusting off their iPads and heading into the fray. Their renewed excitement has as much to do with the dead kids of Newtown as it does with the prospect of four years of a lame duck leftist who asserts imperial executive authority and uses the Constitution to clean up coffee spills in the Oval Office.

Taking on the NRA with a gun ban, like taking on pro-Israel voters by nominating a Defense Secretary and CIA Director who prefer that Israel not exist, is part of a larger program of wiping out the political influence of the non-left. And the 2nd Amendment haters who were forced to sit at the back of the big government bus so that senators could get elected in the South are now feeling optimistic about their chances of killing another piece of the living Constitution.

The campaign is cheesily predictable. The designated victims are cutting commercials and making public appearances, led by Gabby Giffords, whose great achievement in life is being a famous woman who got shot in the head, making her the Chief of the Victims, for the moment. Sure a Republican judge was killed in that same shooting, but victimhood, like race, is an exclusive club. Just ask RGIII or all the mothers of dead soldiers who weren't interested in hugging Hugo Chavez.

The designated victim, like the ancient saint, is a martyr to a cause. And with the left, the cause is invariably really big government. The suffering of the saintly victims is monetized by the cause as unquestionable moral authority. The victims are designated, made famous and milked for their victimhood, and then the victimhood is bottled into white jars and shipped to Washington D.C."

i have become so cynical where this occupant of the white house is concerned. anytime the government announces that it will "fix" something expect that something to get worse. any time joe biden is in charge of "fixing" something be assured that problem will not be fixed only more confused.

"The Master of Hope and Change is out to kill any hope that there can ever be any form of relief from total government intervention. O understands the trouble with allowing the peasants to cling to their guns and bibles. The bibles preach a creed other than Obamosity and the guns maintain the illusion that there is any breathing room at all for the ordinary American." --- daniel greenfield

in the end the government will allow us to think we "won" this battle by them not outright confiscating our guns, but in the end they have just proved that while we console ourselves with guns we will not use them except in isolated instances and so the green light is flashed and government grows.

"Liberals have come to depend upon the willingness of Americans to subordinate their desire for liberty to the wishes and whims of the political ruling class. The cowardly are rewarded for relenting while those with the courage to question dictatorial authority and refuse to submit are accused of domestic terrorism. And all who press their own beliefs—or worse, those of the nations’ Founders– are met with ridicule or intimidation in what was at one time a nation of free, thinking individuals.

In short, the Left has come to expect cowardice or disinterested submission from a people trained for decades to accept as given that the good intentions of their elected betters are sufficient to fulfill the requirements of constitutional authority. And it’s a safe bet neither Democrats nor RINO’s will expect anything different from the majority of Americans this time around as Feinstein and Company legislate last rites and a funeral for the Second Amendment.

We know what the Left believe. We’ll soon find out if they are right."

For whatever it is worth--and hopefully, it is worth at least SOMETHING--call all your political representatives as soon as you can. Some of them are wavering; some just need to hear from 2nd amendment supporters, and the would-be tyrants need to know it won't be tolerated.

well excuse me for thinking that the glass is half-full. excuse me for thinking that the american people were smarter than to vote for an incompetent because of his color. excuse me for thinking that a person elected to the highest office in the land would actually love this country and want what's best for it...excuse me for the air i breathe.

The religion of submission cannot survive an open and honest discussion of its convoluted and foolish scriptures, its sexually perverted terrorist prophet, or its deceitful and demented god. When Western leaders become unified and resolute in their hostility to Islam's violent and ungodly beginnings, Muslims will flee the religion because they will be horrified by its endorsement of terrorism, mass murder, slave trading, plunder, kidnapping, and rape.

For whatever it is worth--and hopefully, it is worth at least SOMETHING--call all your political representatives as soon as you can. Some of them are wavering; some just need to hear from 2nd amendment supporters, and the would-be tyrants need to know it won't be tolerated.
